I'm starting a challenge because it seems like all challenges and groups are CLOSED and I feel left out. :sad:
The "Fit by October" challenge is whatever you want it to be.
Choose what your goals are, and post about them here!
It starts whenever you join, but will end October 7th. It will always be OPEN to whoever wishes to be in a supportive and fun challenge.
Let's encourage each other with all of our individual goals! I think that we should all post our starting weights and our goal weights, unless your goal is non weight-related. Whatever! :flowerforyou: At the end of the challenge, we can add up how much weight and inches we've lost as a group!
I hope that I get some challengers to do this with. Come on, don't be shy, join my challenge. :happy:
I'll start the introductions!
You can copy and paste this and just replace my info with yours, leaving out any information that you don't want to give, and adding anything else that may be missing.
